UV Exposure Is Tough on Building Envelopes

Extended sun can bleach pigments, embrittle sealants, and accelerate aging on roofs and siding. Choosing materials with proven UV stability is the first step; installing them with the right details is the second.

Material Choices That Last

What we recommend for Chilliwack’s sunny stretches:

  • UV-stable synthetic roofing (DaVinci, Authentic Roof) for colour retention and impact resistance
  • James Hardie fibre cement for fade resistance and dimensional stability
  • AL13® aluminum cladding with durable architectural coatings
  • High-grade sealants and fasteners rated for thermal cycling

Installation Details Matter

Thermal expansion can create gaps or stress points. We use proper clearances, rainscreen assemblies where appropriate, and balanced venting to manage heat and moisture movement—keeping exteriors tight and tidy through the hottest weeks.

Refresh or Replace? We’ll Help You Decide

From targeted repairs and repainting to full system upgrades, our team advises the best path based on remaining service life, aesthetics, and budget.
